The images show a person wearing light-colored clothing approaching the house at night. According to former FBI agent Mark Harrigan, some details in the footage may suggest inexperience. Harrigan noted the way the individual carried a firearm as unusual, stating that it appeared awkwardly positioned at the front of the body rather than in a more typical concealed manner. “A sophisticated approach would normally involve keeping the weapon concealed,” he said. Harrigan also observed that the person appeared to reach for nearby vegetation, potentially to obscure the camera lens, which he described as another sign of inexperience.
Private investigator Andy Kay also noted that the firearm handling indicated a lack of professional training, describing the person as a “rookie” in that respect.
The release of the footage comes ten days after Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance on January 3, 2026. Investigators attribute the delay in part to the lack of a paid cloud storage subscription for the security camera, which required technical recovery from the system’s backend.
FBI Director Kash Patel confirmed that multiple persons of interest are under review as part of the investigation. A $50,000 reward is currently being offered for any information leading to Guthrie’s safe return.
Authorities previously detained a man in connection with the case, questioning him about his movements. He was later released without charges. Officials emphasized that no suspects have been publicly named, and that all individuals currently under review are considered persons of interest until the investigation reaches further conclusions.
Savannah Guthrie shared the newly released photos and video on social media, urging the public to help locate her mother. “We believe she is still alive,” she said, asking anyone with information to come forward.
The FBI continues to work with local law enforcement and technical experts to verify leads and reconstruct events surrounding Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance.
Additional recovered footage, from the same camera – at the same timeline the morning of Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance. This footage is just before the original video shared, with the individual approaching Nancy Guthrie’s front door.
